The current record for number of hits is 'Evolution of Dance' by Judson Laipply which has been viewed more than 118million times.

Miss Boyle's 'I Dreamed a Dream' audition has already eclipsed that of Barack Obama's victory speech (18.5million hits) and George W. Bush ducking a shoe in Iraq (33.2million hits).

The reason she got more hit's is because she is truly herself speaks and sings from her heart for everyone in this world.

Wonder how many people have viewed it multiple times though, like I have...also, am wondering who exactly is getting paid what for all those YouTube 'hits'. And what about all the other YouTube versions of the very same audition clip? Only asking, because myself, I don't make videos, I only view others' efforts, and I have no idea how the thing works; I've understood that SOMEbody makes money off the hits, so if anyone here could clue me in, I sure would appreciate learning a bit about how it works. Wishing more than anything that Susan herself might be getting some actual monetary rewards out of all this...is that possible? Also--is Susan aware of this fan site? I think it's the biggest one so far.

I have viewed the video clip numerous times.The "hit" count is not based on individual "hits" it is based on the total.I think if all the hits on all the youtube video clips of Susan were added up it would be close to or possibly pass 70 million.How awesome is that.And how awesome is this lady.

This is one of the most inspiring videos I have ever seen. Susan's attitude and her beautiful voice was an over the rainbow moment for me and likely for many others watching this. The "dream" that was always just a little out of reach happened to a lady who seems to be as genuine as the morning sunrise. I loved it. I am very happy for this funny and talented lady! She has brought many smiles and shared joy with millions who have seen and heard "I dreamed a dream." For a few moments, we all have shared her dream with her.

I can watch her everyday many times a day. I have not seen any competition yet. I feel the youngster has talent, but not equal to Susan. She is definitely a 10; her competition numbers on her chest equal 10 if you add them together. 1-4-3-2!! This is meant to be. I could not listen to the youngster without tiring of hearing him for as many times as I have listened over and over, Her voice is so pure and feeling. She feels what she is singing and she makes me feel with my heart. Colorado

Can someone post her mailing address - so many would like to send her a card of thanks and well wishing.

To Allykat: I don't think anyone is making money from the youtube views, but I'm sure it does bring more viewers to the show tho. Either way, I'm happy for Susan, I hope all her dreams will come true. She is a real person, with real feelings, no matter how much money someone may make from her performance. And p.s. awwww Aflack's ad is cute lol.

Can anyone tell me how to report inappropriate comments? I have seen a few and sent a message to the editor of this website and asked this question but have not received an answer.

There are some just mean and nasty people out there and they need to be on the mean and nasty website.

I hope that this can be a positive website for fans who wish Miss Boyle success without any negative comments attached.

Thanks...

I love the youtube video and watch it each night, I have always been a person that wants people to see me for me, but find most look for material things when you walked out on stag and the looks peopel gave you, then when you started singing they forgot about your looks/age/ect. WOW you are an insperation Thank you for going on the show and showing so many people life isn't about material items but about truth and being the person god made us wow
Posted by MJ from USA on April 20, 2009
guilty. i've viewed Susan's video over and over and over again since last monday (april 13). i can't help it , she just lifts my spirits up. i normally listen to alternative, pop and pop-rock with a bit of hip-hop but i can't get over her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream. It blows me away. It made me teary. I already adored her when she was being interviewed before she sang. She was just so gracious and friendly and determined to be there and show them her talent. I was rooting for her to do well at least. But instead she surprised the heck out of me. I did not expect an angelic, soaring, pitch perfect, crystal clear, pure voice coming from her! i didnt expect goosebumps on my arms, chills down my spine and tears flowing down my cheeks. I didnt expect to be touched like that. she's something special. i'm in love with her voice.
Posted by marjorie on April 20, 2009
I believe Susan Boyle is like an Angel sent from heaven to all of us. Her voice is angelic, uplifting,and very enjoyable. She is beautiful inside and out. Please I hope Hollywood does not change her . Her heart is beautiful and to me Susan Boyle is an inspiration to many. Gets us back to being a real true person. She has of course lots of talent . Although I really believe she is singing with a pure heart. I am excited to see this lovely lady go to the top. I will watch her sing anytime. Maybe she can even have her own TV Talk Show. I bet Susan has lots of wisdom and a very interesting funny personality. She is Susan !!!!

The stun of the audience and complete and utter shock of the judges shows the underlying effects of a disgusting attitude that has rippled across oceans and engulfs nations of humans around the globe. Too often we take what we see at first glance and don't let those who have the most prizable possesion, a good heart, share what they have to give to the globe. One look at Susan Boyle, and the show's judges had their hands hovering over the buttons, to once more shut down her chances at being herself! She just wanted someone to hear her. And now someone has finally given her a minute or two, and the globe has been affected tremendously by the incredible voice she has, which attains the power to draw tears from the most unsensitive beings' eyes. We can take a lesson from this and move on from days of ignorance. Now, as a world we can learn from this woman, the woman who stunned Simon Cowell, the woman who was never given a chance, the woman who has won hearts over, and we can learn to listen to every voice that wants to sing, and let our guard down against someone because of their looks or any other material feature that is of worthlessness, and appreciate more, the eternal value of a golden heart and kind existence. Bravo Susan Boyle! You are going to move more than mountains with that voice of yours!

Susan, you are an inspiration! I cried for three hours after your performance. You have a gift from God! Here is what my sister sent me: This song is such a strange mix of inspiration and heart break. Makes you want to soar high and sob at the same time. lo lol Bitter sweet sobbing high!

The woman Susan Boyle is an unemployed 47 year old woman who has the appearance of a very likable frumpy old schoolmarm. I just did not expect that beautiful voice to come out of her.

I had goosebumps/chills and tears because I was so happy for her!! Simon Cowel from American Idol is one of the judges.

I later shower it to a fellow retiree, gave him a Kleenex and dared him not to cry. (Took him about 20 seconds into her singing to let go) God bless Susan Boyle, her "Visible Pureness" and her beautiful voice. I've watched the video repeatedly! WoW!

Posted by Elmie on April 21, 2009
There are so many fantastic messages here, and I'm one of those who have posted a couple.

This time, I'd like to add more to what I've written, like many others have, regarding her angelic and beautiful voice and how much they love her.

My added thoughts are : She not only can sing beautifully, but her facial expressions show that she means the lyrics. Notice how her face changed to sadness as she ended the song with : "So different now from what it seemed; now life has killed the dream I dreamed."

Also: After that very brief gestures of excitement on her part upon hearing the judges' 3 YES's, I noticed that she turned back into that CLASSY SELF-COMPOSURE and those flying kisses of love.

SUSAN exudes a pure beautiful voice that flows like water, uninterrupted by the rocks it sweeps on -- and a classy natural poise.

I can't wait to hear more of you, Susan, and to own your CDs which I will play all day long to soothe my day.

Warm wishes from Western Australia Elmie

Posted by willangel79 on April 21, 2009
Just want to say that I never register to any fansite, just this one. I have been watching Susan Boyle all week and I seem to can't have enough of this amazing, down-to-earth lady from Scotland. I wish her all the best in BGT. I am hoping she will win, although the welsh boy is fine, I think he has more time to be famous. There are still voters who prefer younger, cute talents. But I wish they give Susan this one not just because she is a wonderful person, but her voice should be part of everyone's music collection. She gives hope to a lot of folks like me, who have been singing since childhood but seem to have not been given any opportunity. At least one of us has a chance to shine now.
Posted by SaucyKod on April 21, 2009
Looking sooooo forward to purchasing Susan's CD here in Eastern Canada - one of my favourite memories will be the look on Simon's face, when you sang - melted our hearts. We vote for you Susan, keep the music coming.

YOU, my lady, are an INSPIRATION at a time when the local, national and global news is riddled with nothing but devastation and heart ache.

LARRY KING's got nothing on you girl! I am SO PROUD of you for standing up to him on the make-over thing. The only answer to the 'if you should or should not have one' is the answer that comes out of YOUR mouth, period.

Amanda was right; it is a privilege to listen to you. More importantly, it is an honor and privilege to know you're out there when the world needs something to cheer about!

Susan Boyle, you do not need a makeover! Our world needs a makeover. Simple goodness shines in your eyes. Anyone who can watch your performance on BGT and find fault with you on any level has no idea of what true beauty is all about. My heart responded to you with pure joy. The biggest lift to come my way in quite some time. Talk about letting your light shine, Susan, you blinded me with your talent. You have God's grace on you. Please stay real. I am eagerly waiting to hear more.

I watch the clip several times a day during the course of the day. I'm so glad God gave me the opportunity to hear Susan sing. It brought tears to my eyes and cold chills over my body. I know that your talent come from God, but best of all I know that you also are aware of it. You were 100% right when you said " I'm going to rock this audience" You could see the disbelief in the eyes of the judges and then it turned to pure delight and admiration. Susan is a beautiful person and it starts on the inside. We love you in the USA.

Susan I live in Perth, W.A. a long way from Britain but your talent has affected everyone down under and I hope that you win as you have a voice of an angel. I hope that you will sing "Beautiful" by Christina Aguiluera, maybe in the grand final, because that is what you are! :D

I have cried you a river Susan My eyes are now closed You come to me in my dream of a perfect life The elusive beauty that my heart needs to survive my remaining years The only hollow point to an otherwise happy existence That soft growl you project to me from the depths of your soul A song I have never heard before Your pitch moves through my body's core Other worldly notes- that you project swiftly in the simmer of a chaotic universe It occupies my every waking moment I have hurt you, and others like you Only to be rewarded with loneliness A debt that I may have until my very last breath You have been kind to me, and others like me Allowing us to experience a passion almost forgotten A stimulus for the soul, that has reinvigorated the greatest of all human emotions Hope The hope that one day I can be loved by someone like you.

Susan! Greetings!

Been watching all your new found fame and I must say I was pleasantly surprised to find out there are powerful people wishing to, not only make your dream come true, ( as a singer ) but also wish to make a MOVIE of your life! Susan Boyle a Movie star as well as a world class Singer? Now how is that for poetic justice. Perhaps there are still more lessons to be learned for all those judging your looks. Do they not know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Well I still find it sad that some of the Press keeps focusing on shallow things such as your eyebrows or if you been kissed or not.

It's wonderful to have earned the company of angels isn't it? No matter how much those whom find pleasure in mocking others try to drag your spirit down the angels around you spread there wings in order to shine there divine grace on your soul! Human kind clam to want to be in the grace of the divine yet I think few if not no one would even recognize such honor if it hit us on the face!

Best of luck, When you going to be on Oprah? There producers are not speaking about it *roles eyes*

To Susan and SB fans:

The performance and the aftermath have been major DRBU equivalents. Not sure what a DBRU is? Please let me explain.

Gary Larson, the comic genius who gave us the immortal “The Far Side” cartoon series, inspired the concept.

The particular "Far Side" cartoon that gave birth to my “DBRU equivalent” was one depicting a large, deceased rhino covered by buzzards with more filling the sky, arriving to join in the feast. In the caption, one buzzard remarks to another, "Just think, here we are, the afternoon sun beating down upon us, a dead bloated rhino underfoot and good friends flying in from all over. I tell you, Frank, this is the best of times."

I looked at that picture, thought of those words and asked myself that question -- that is, what, exactly, ARE “the best of times" in my life? Ever since, I’ve been asking audiences this question: “Are you getting enough DBRUs? That is, enough dead bloated rhino underfoot equivalents?"

That’s my neat idea, my contribution to the advancement of wellness and self-management. That's what Susan song and Susan's success story is for me and millions - huge DRBU equivalent.

I suggest we all put this question to ourselves on a regular basis. Am I getting enough DBRU equivalents. What are the best of times and are these experiences occurring with sufficient frequency to make life wonderful? If not, take steps to rectify the situation.

I did one of my famous double-blind, crossover trials of a longitudinal, horizontal and dignified nature a few years ago and discovered we all need a MINIMUM daily requirement of 23 DBRU equivalents. They need not be spectacular. Instead, little pleasures, simple reflections of gratitude and conscious appreciations of wonder will do nicely. When you wake, be grateful you are still alive, living in a free country (if you are) with plenty to eat, that your kids are not in jail (assuming they're not) and that the sun is still up there and that we continue to revolve on planet Earth, not too fast and not too slow. There -- you already would have six DBRU equivalents -- and you’re not even out of bed yet! In other words, DBRU equivalents need not be epic and triumphant events, like recovery from a grave illness, hitting the lottery, winning the Tour De France, climbing Mt. Everest in the nude or discovering Susan Boyle. Little pleasures throughout the day will do the trick. Tune in to these little delights, bring them into conscious awareness, celebrate them and pause often to honor your good fortune! By the end of the day, you could have pondered hundreds of these wonders, let alone the minimum 23 -- and you will be richer (and healthier) for it!

I hope this puts you in a good and inquisitive mood for the day and fires up your commitment to take charge of your life and develop a strong interest in self-management. It's time to go out there and celebrate life more than you already do, to seek DBRU equivalents and ways to get fitter, to have more fun and play, richer relationships, more emotional intelligence, to be a more critical thinker and to discover added meanings of and purposes for living, in YOUR unique fashion.

As my then high school-age daughter once said to me, "Dad, may all your dead rhinos be like totally bloated on this lovely day."

It’s a pity governments don't set and subsidize standards for DBRU equivalents, but as with other worthwhile things, these you must do for yourself. Thanks, Susan Boyle.

Yes, I'm still watching and crying. I haven't seen any other posters comment on this: We all heard and saw the reception Susan got when she took the stage. She still smiled, joked, and let it all roll off. The googly-eyed female and the face-maker in the audience really bothered me and still do.

Then Susan sang. Everything changed. Too bad we couldn't have gotten a shot of the two of them during her performance.

Did you notice that when she was walking off the stage she blew a kiss and smiled at those who had initially doubted her.

Not only is Susan a superb vocalist, but she's one **classy** lady as well!

GO SUSAN!

I think everyone in the USA should check out our history a bit. There were two singers who come to mind that many will not remember unless they look them up. Kate Smith, was a very large woman, not very attractive, but we didn't care because she could belt out a song, most memorable was 'God Bless America', that would bring you to tears, and Ethel Merman, who was much the same and a Broadway star. TV and Hollywood has done everyone a disservice w/young or Botoxed fake people. Susan, you will be just as big a star as Kate Smith and Ethel Merman in their day. Good luck and God Bless!

I think maybe my favorite part (after the singing, of course), was when she did the elated stomping dance then immediately curtsied daintily and walked off blowing a kiss. What a great lady lol

"An ounce of pretention is worth a pound of manure." In Diane Sawyer's interview with Susan Boyle, Susan claimed that she would not again do the little hip-swinging dance she did during the audition just before she sang. I say KEEP THE DANCE IN, Susan! It's part of your charming personality and all part of why everyone loves you so much!

Make sure you listen to "Cry me a river" and "Killing me softly" as many times as you can. She put up the money for the recordings herself 10 years ago and therefore she gets all the royalty points for the recordings other then what goes to the orginal songwriter. You Tube has an agreement with all major performance publishing firms so as it stands right now she has already made millions from those 2 songs.

Susan, when i heard you sing "To Dream a Dream" on Britan's Got Talent, you gave me goose bumps and gave me a lump in my throat. You are "SINGING ROYALTY". Please never change, or forget where you came from, because i fame sometimes does that. Knowing what i have seen and heard from you, that will never happen. Your mother and father are just beaming in heaven, and are so very proud of you. You are an ANGEL on earth. May God make your every dream come true, and one dream of mine would be that you come to Nova Scotia Canada "New Scotland". God Bless You Susan. PS: Susan, you are one CLASSY LADY.

Most of todays "Hollywood Divas" wouldn't look nearly so hot either if it weren't for the army of make-up artists and hair stylists following them around. On behalf of the rest of us normal looking people, Susan, please don't change a thing. I'll be the first in line to buy your new album when it comes to the states.

I watched susan's video 20 times. I cannot find the words to describe her voice, It is beyond fantastic. I was in tears it was so beautiful. With all her talent she won't need luck to suceed as a superstar. Her voice gives her a beauty all her own.

This week you have represented the masses of people who fit into or below the equator of normalcy, a line drawn by the privileged few of the world. You have stood for all of us who have been discriminated against, pushed aside, disrespected and been laughed at because we do not quite fit into the box that the handsome, healthy, strong and privileged with opportunity society has set themselves in to separate us from them. You have represented us, and have done so with great courage and admirable humility. And for a moment in time that I would wish to last forever, we were superior, and they were ashamed of the world that they created.

Susan, I cannot remember how long it has been since I have been so moved from hearing music. I cannot stop crying. You sing to my heart and I am so grateful you shared your gift with the world. I can't wait to buy your CD!!! And remember, Super Models get criticized for their looks too. EVERY woman has heard that they are either too tall, too short, too thin, too fat, too femanine, too masculine, too young, too old, etc. Every woman is critized for her looks, personality, intelligence etc at some point and time in her life. Doesn't speak well for our "advanced" society does it? Best wishes!!!!

Susan, God has truly blessed you with a voice only Angel's could have. I wish you all the best life has to offer you because you certainly deserve it.

Dear Susan:

I rejoice in what you have accomplished.

God bless you, your family and your DREAM – to be all God wants you to be!

I wish I could write as good as you sing! Below is my poem, “The Thoughts of the Unborn”. I hope you like it. Sincerely, Arthur Trafford.com

The Thoughts of the Unborn POEM

Pain is so real and it's easy to see It all happens to you and me

I know we are born to die But at such a young age I don't understand why

I was so young and didn't understand God would allow a change that I had not planned

I had no control over when I would go But this I know I love you so

I live in your heart I am happy to say Always there no matter what you think or pray

I love you and want you to love me That's the way it should be

You weren't perfect I know quite well God gave us each other I am happy to tell

Our hearts are melted together and its easy to see why Our love will never die

For you are special to me And always will be

Thank God for giving to me An opportunity for life you see

Mom and dad please don't be too sad You can learn from your mistakes for which I am glad

And if another child should come your way Do what is right is all I can say

You didn't steal eternity from me For I am a creation of God you see

No one is righteous before our dear Savior Our thoughts are wrong including our behavior

Because of everything we do or say That only leaves us one option---to pray

Dear God because I am guilty of not doing right I ask you to save me today or tonight

Only Jesus can save me from my sin I think of the unborn and wish I had let life begin

I am crushed and heart broken No comfort my soul has ever been spoken

The blood of Jesus is all that can cleanse me I want to do what is right and please God within me

All wrongs have equal weight on God's judgment scale Even stealing a pencil can send us to hell

All of us do wrong and compare ourselves with others We are not more righteous* than hysterical pregnant mothers

And if most women-with-child was loved by the child's father She would smile and happily say "No abortion" why bother

You have hidden or damaged emotions buried in a sea of pain Release them and you have everything to gain

Ask God and the person you mated with to forgive you Forgive yourself and live the abundant life.

"Miss Boyle's 'I Dreamed a Dream' audition has already eclipsed that of Barack Obama's victory speech"... This can be easily explained since Susan Boyle's performance was 10 times more inspriring the Barack's acceptance speech...

I found out about Susan just this morning on the Early Show, maybe 8:30 am. I looked at the video and began to weep. Then, I watched it over and over all day long weeping. Then I read about her on the internet, and watched it some more and cried with joy, ecstacy, magic, surprise, wonder and think we have an angel in our midst, a literal angel. My arms and shoulders hurt and my eyes are blurry but I can't stop watching her...it's 1:15 am on the 23'd already and I only stopped to eat. I have never ever heard so much authentic emotion and skill at the same time from any singer ever. No one has ever moved me so deeply, so profoundly. And, when I read about her life, I just love her all the more. Do you know she delivered meals on wheels for quite a long time? In addition to all the other good works she has done. She is a singing Mother Theresa, she should be pronounced a Saint.

The next best thing to being privileged to hear and see Susan is seeing the outpouring of affection and appreciation for her by millions worldwide. In a day when careers are built upon wardrobe malfunctions, and celebrities seek fame from DUI arrests and pantiless exposure, it's great to see how many people appreciate Susan simply for being a sweet person with mountains of talent.

Susan - Do not change anything about you based on what you think others want to see - STAY TRUE to what you have been blessed with - trust your god to lead you as you always have . Please do not trust just anyone you meet , it is times like this that you need to stay grounded and close to those that have ALWAYS been your ROCK in time of need . I will continue to pray for you and stay close to the ones that have always know you as Susan Boyle and loved and supported you . Stay with your solid group of friends and ask your church to help guide you . So many people may surface wanting now to be your best friend , I have a feeling you will be just fine in knowing what it is they really want from you . I know others will really become incredible mentors in your life, I know you will continue to project from a place that god has always lived within you . I am so very happy the world has been reminded that a soul lives in all of us . We have only been given this body as a form - Susan you have been given the TRUE VOICE of a angel - You have been BLESSED with a gift that has always been in gods plans for you . Every single thing that has happened in your life was the very thing that brought you to where you are now . Write down your wishes and dreams for what you have always wanted, write down the things that you would change in the world if you could , write down these as a reminder to what is true in your heart , you can use these to reflect upon when life is pulling you in every way possible . I know you are as strong as your voice within the very voice that has always been and always WILL be yours to own . You are in all our HEARTS and PRAYERS SUSAN ! : )

Do get yourself a lawyer or, better, build your career completely on your own. The tools are there today, in your hands: the computer, the internet, independent studios.

Susan, you have given me back my dream of owning my own flower shop. I am a "Over the hill" woman, who had to return to work, because of divorce. I found my calling late in life, and thought I could never achieve my goals. But now I know I can! You have given me the inspiration I needed. Every time I feel down because of the job I lost due to the economy, I watch your video, and listen to those words that come from an angel! I WILL own my own flower shop! And Susan, you have uplifted me enough to make it happen! God bless you, and good luck for the rest of your life! Please stay as sweet and wonderful as you are! With many hugs! CiGi

Posted by earthman990 on April 23, 2009
it is still so clear, that Susan Boyle was always gifted, and it is also clear that a large part of humanity will be touched deeply. but how deeply do people really see whats happening to them, because, i think, and hope for one minute, that humanity is getting ushered into a new wave of conciousness,? susan was clearly thee instrument that sparked this overwhelming cleansing of the soul, so to speak, effect on people. But susan is clearly human, and down to earth, with no divine attachments to her self, as we listen to her speak! shes quite cheerful, and humorous. so i ask where is this coming from, why now! and what is responsible for this mass outpour of emotion. what is this normal, noooooooooooooo! will this be the moment in history where people finally wake up? will this be the moment where we will all want to hold hands, and say what happen? and how did we get here and now let love be part of thee equation in our approach to life, business, and family, and war!...................! who knows? i,m just an inspired fan!

Posted by John L on April 23, 2009
She needs to be careful about how radically and quickly she makes any changes. The world loved her beautiful voice, but they also bought into the whole vulnerability, battler from the suburbs syndrome. Make her a beautiful star and she will be competing in the same ballpark as all the other so called "beautiful people" with great voices. Right now she has NO COMPETITION. Her USP will slip away if she doesn't stay the Susan everyone fell in love with, as I did.

This is my third posting. Something I have never done before even once. Been trying to figure out why I keep being drawn back to watch this video again and again. Have listened to the other stuff that has been unearthed, and it was all good, especially Cry Me a River, but this particular performance is phenonmenal. It is like watching a miracle take place before your very eyes that you can't even believe yourself and then realizing that there really is still magic in the world. Honest to God magic that you believed in as a child. Dreams can still come true, no matter what age or walk of life. That is what I am witnessing as I watch this, a dream coming true. A ordinary woman, just like me, putting aside all of her excuses and defences that life has built up and making herself vulnerable to a big cruel world because she believes in herself whether anyone else does or not. Having the courage, after being disappointed so many times before, to stand out there alone on that stage for one more chance to make your dream happen and then to not hold back anything when your chance comes, just pour your heart out with all you got. And blow kisses on your way out! The song is beautiuful and the voice is incredible, but it is the woman herself that has inspired me and given me back just a little bit of hope that there are still wonderful possibilities in my world also and dreams can still come true.

Posted by phoxee on April 26, 2009
Have you wondered what the man who wrote the song thought about Susan's performance of "I Dreamed a Dream"? I sure did and I stumbled on to it. His name is Alain Boublil

"You expect nothing," says Boublil, "and then she opens her mouth and you get three or four of the most exciting moments I have ever seen on television. Act I: She arrives and everyone is laughing at her. Act II: She bowls them over. Act III: Everyone is out of their seats. "You cannot plan any of that. My wife was crying when she saw it. Even the most cynical people I know have been moved." "I Dreamed a Dream" was one of the first songs Boublil wrote for "Les Miz" in 1979. "I remember I was in a car driving in the north of France and was working on this song about Fantine. Her descent into hell - she loses everything: her money, her daughter - takes up several chapters. I had to encapsulate 50 pages of the novel into a three- minute song. So I decided rather than to list all the happiness, I would go inside her head - 'I Dreamt of a Different Life' was the original title. And that is how the lyric was born." Needless to say, I was thrilled to read this and especially so after reading some of the cruel comments from her critics.

THE KISS OF AN ANGEL...

Howdy Pards,

Well, like most of you, I have watched her performance over and over and over again. One thing that struck me very early on was her very professional stage presence. Within seconds of beginning to sing she connected directly with every soul in that theater...seemed to look them all square in the eye...and won them over almost immediately.

There was a grace to her performance, an honesty, an openness...a complete confidence in her ability to capture their hearts. Remember the words, "I'm going to make that audience rock!"? She knew.

We were in the presence of a true and natural star! The audience, as you'll recall, was on their feet cheering right after those first wonderful words came out of her mouth. She owned our hearts from that moment on...and, later in the song, she lifted us up to heights we never expected.

The quality of her voice was, of course, that of an Angel sent by God. But she also touched our hearts with her grace and beauty on that stage. And, when she threw those kisses we knew they were honest and straight from her heart! As she left the stage she threw a kiss to all the world...and that kiss hit it's mark! Millions upon millions of us were gobsmacked by an experience unlike any we have ever felt before.

I'm tellin' ya pards I strongly suspect that God had a lot to do with all this... This whole thing has His fingerprints all over it! As Susan's dreams began to come true...lessons were taught to the entire world. And something was delivered too. A feeling of joy and happiness and wonder that was unlike anything we have ever felt before.

I think the truth of the matter is...that kiss she threw us at the end of her performance was the wonderful, undeniable kiss of an Angel. No wonder we love her...

Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.

Wild Ol' Dan
Posted by Cookiezzz on April 29, 2009
Dear Susan, This has to be so surreal. I guess this world was hungry for a person just like you. I'm sure we can all relate. Bless with talents but never given a chance to prove ourselves. Being held back for whatever reason. But within a blink of an eye everything falls into place for you. What made it so cool about your performance was that we all eyewitness your dream coming true right before our eyes. That's why it hit such a deep core in all of us. You reach everyone's heart.

You pick the perfect song that night. I hope that you can pick the perfect song again. I've looked at your performance many times, reliving that perfect moment.

Watching your dream come true!!! Thank you Susan, Carol

Susan, just think: if the video clip of your BGT audition (and that was only an audition!)is doing so well (5th largest viewing in YouTube history), imagine what will happen with the inevitable future video clips of your BGT performances after you sing again on BGT? And again? And again? (I have no idea how many performances are necessary to reach the 'final' final.)

I cannot get enough of your rendition of 'I Dream a Dream'. Like others here on this fan site, I must content myself with listening to it, plus audio clips of your two 1999 offerings and two video clips from 1984, over and over, and dreaming of the day I get to hear even more.

It's nice that you are doing so well on YouTube, but honestly, I want you to get paid for your beautiful singing. Paid very well, and just as soon as that becomes feasible. Something tells me your future CD sales will set some records, as well. Your public anxiously awaits!

Allikat ~ It really is hard to wait for the next round of BGT. I'm trying not to become too anxious too soon, but my goodness, it's beginning to seem like a long haul until we hear something new from Susan. We can be patient, but it takes a bit of effort!

I, too, want her to be reimbursed for what she is doing for the world. I wonder if she's receiving funds from somewhere, yet? Rather nosy to be curious about her finances, but still, I hope she is beginning to receive funds from somewhere.

Someone has commented that he wants to do his part in making Susan a very wealthy woman. I had to laugh at his turn of words, they were so apt. That is exactly what I hope will happen. I don't care that I'll never be a wealthy person this side of heaven, but I want so much for Susan to be so. She has made an incalculable contribution to the world.

I'm waiting for more competition tapes to come out of the woodwork. Because I really might not be able to stand it, having to wait another couple of weeks for another tune. I think I can safely say that I have finally lost my marbles.

I hope Susan earns enough to live out her days as she pleases. She says she would like to buy her council house - that should be attainable! Such a simple desire. They called her Susan Simple in the derogatory sense - but there's a certain beauty in her simple, straightforward ways. She seems to have spent her life following her heart and doing what she knew was right. Simple, no? Maybe that's why she seems so at peace and comfortable in her own skin. Maybe a lot of us could learn something from Susan Simple.
